Definitions
- the invention relates to a hydraulic circuit having a priority valve, a lockout valve through which fluid is passable from the priority valve, and a con ⁇ trol valve for controllably passing the fluid from the priority valve to the lockout valve and delivering a signal to the priority valve in response to said control valve passing the fluid to the lockout valve. More particularly, the invention relates to controllably, automatically blocking said signal from passing to the priority valve.
- a priority hydraulic circuit having a lockout valve and a control valve, it is de ⁇ sirable to prevent priority fluid flow from a priority valve to an associated work system in response to de ⁇ mand of the control valve where said demand is created as a result of a primary work system being locked o ⁇ t of or blocked from operation by the lockout valve.
- the priority valve creates priority fluid flow to a secondary work system and prevents- a pres ⁇ surized fluid source from pumping against relief pres- sure of the circuit owing to the locked out condition of the primary work system.
- U.S. Patent 3,642,019 which issued to Kramer on February 15, 1972, shows an embodiment of a hydraulic circuit having a priority valve controllably passing fluid from primary an secondary outlets.
- a controL valve causes the priority valve to direct all fluid through the secondary outlet in response to pressure in the primary outlet reaching a preselected magnitude.
- U.S. Patent 3,336,344 which issued to Junck on June 4, 1968, shows another embodiment of a priority valve which passes fluid to- a steering control valve. Priority to the control valve is assured by fluidly com ⁇ municating the line passing fluid from the priority valve to the control valve with one side of a valve spool of the priority valve.
- U.S. Patent 3,550,505 which issued to Byers,
- a cushioning or suspension sys ⁇ tem is generally provided on a tractor portion of a scraper in order to improve the controllability and ride of the scraper.
- the suspension system is commonly based upon hydraulic cylinders connected to the frame and axle of the scraper for controlling relative move ⁇ ment of said frame and axle.
- a priority valve is used to establish the priority of fluid flow from a fluid source to the system relative to other work systems of the scraper.
- a control valve is used to automatically, controllably respond to the demands of the suspension system and provide the necessary fluid flow to or from said system. The control valve also delivers a signal to the priority valve in order to assure the priority of fluid flow to the suspension system.
- a lockout valve is preferably added to the hydraulic circuit to provide for selective operation of the suspension system.
- the suspension system be locked out of or blocked from operation during loading cycles of the scraper. This results in better control and handling during the loading operation.
- said system can be maintained at a position at which the control valve continues to signal the priority valve to maintain priority fluid flow to the inoperative suspension ele ⁇ ments. This can result in the pressurized fluid source pumping fluid against the relief pressure of the hy ⁇ draulic circuit creating energy loss, heating of the oil, and ' lack of fluid flow from the priority valve to secondary "work systems.
- a hydraulic circuit has a priority valve, a control valve and a lockout valve.
- the priority valve has a primary outlet positionable in fluid communication with the lockout valve.
- the lockout valve is movable between first and second positions at which fluid is pa-ssable through ' said valve and blocked from passing through said valve, respectively.
- the control valve is associated with the priority and-lockout valves and is of a construction sufficient for controllably passing fluid from said primary outlet to the lockout valve and delivering a signal to the priority valve.
- the signal is sufficient for controllably moving the priority valve into fluid communication with the lock ⁇ out valve. Said signal is controllably, automatically blocked from being delivered to said priority valve in response to said lockout valve being at the second position.
- the hydraulic circuit is used to control, for example, a self-leveling hydraulic suspension system of a work vehicle.
- the lockout valve provides for operating or locking out the operation of the suspension system where desired.
- the control valve controls the passing of fluid to the suspension system and delivers the signal to assure fluid priority to said suspension system based upon demand.
- the signal is controllably, automatically blocked in response to the lockout valve being used to lock out the operation of the suspension system in order to prevent priority fluid flow to the locked out system and to establish priority of fluid flow to a secondary work system.
- the drawing is a diagrammatic view of an em ⁇ bodiment of the invention associated with a suspension system of a work vehicle.
- a hydraulic circuit 10 is associated with first and second members 12, 14 each movable one relative to the other.
- Said members 12, 14 are, for example, an axle 16 and frame 18, res- pectively, of a work vehicle 20.
- First and second work elements 22, 24 are connected to the axle 16 and frame 18.
- Said work elements 22, 24 are of a con ⁇ struction sufficient for controllably maintaining the axle 16 and frame 18 in a first preselected position 26 one relative to the other.
- Said work elements 22, 24, shown as hydraulic cylinders 23, 25 act in co ⁇ operation with the hydraulic circuit 10 to operate as a leveling suspension system 27.
- An accumulator 2.9 provides spring action for said suspension system 27.
- the hydraulic circuit 10 has a priority valve 28, a control valve 30 and a lockout valve 32.
- a pressurized fluid source 34 shown as a hydraulic pump 35, supplies fluid through a supply line 36 to a fluid inlet 38 of the priority valve 28.
- the priority valve 28 The priority valve
- the priority valve 28 is positionable with a primary fluid outlet 40 in fluid communication through the control valve 30 with the lockout valve 32 and at a secondary fluid outlet 42 with a secondary work system 33.
- the priority valve 28 shown is infinitely positionable in fluid com ⁇ munication with the lockout valve 32 through first and second lines 44, 46. Priority of fluid flow from the inlet 38 to the primary outlet 40 is established by a
- a relief valve 52 is pro ⁇ vided to protect the circuit 10.
- the control valve 30 is associated with the priority and lockout valves 28, 32. Said valve 30 is of a construction sufficient for controllably passing fluid from the primary outlet 40 of the priority valve 28 to the lockout valve 32 and for delivering a signal to the priority valve 28 in response to said control valve 30 passing fluid from said primary outlet 40 to the lockout valve 32.
- the control valve 30 is connected to the first and second lines 44, 46 and is movable be ⁇ tween first, second and third positions 54, 56, 58 for controllably positioning said lines 44, 46 in fluid communication one with the other for passing fluid from the priority valve 28 to the lockout valve 32.
- the control valve 30 is connected to the axle 16 and frame 18 and controllably, automatically passes fluid from the priority valve 28 to the lockout valve 32 in response to the axle 16 and frame 18 being at a second preselected position (not shown) one relative to the other. Said second position represents travel of the axle 16 to a location more closely spaced from the vehicle frame 18 than at the first preselected posi- tion 26.
- the lockout valve 32 is movable between a first position 60 at which fluid is- passable through said valve 32 and a second position 62 at which fluid is blocked from passing through said valve 32.
- Said lockout valve 32 has a work fluid inlet and outlet 64, 66 connected to the second line 46 and a third line 68, respectively, through which flow of fluid through the ' valve 32 from the control valve 30 is controlled.
- Fluid passing from the priority valve 28 to the lockout valve 32 is thus directable through said lockout valve 32 at the first position 60 and through the third line 68 to the hydraulic cylinders 23, 25 for automatic leveling of the frame 18 relative to the axle 16.
- said lockout valve 32 locks out or prevents the automatic leveling operation.
- a suspension system and associated control valve is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent 3,953,040 which issued on April 27, 1976, to Unruh.
- the signal delivered by the control valve 30 to th priority valve 28 is sufficient for controllably, moving the priority valve 28 into fluid communication with the lockout valve 32. Said signal is controllably, automatically blocked from said priority valve 28 in response to said lockout valve 32 being at the second position 62. In this manner, priority fluid flow from the primary outlet 40 of the priority valve 28 is assured to the hydraulic cylinders 23, 25 by being based upon the demand for fluid established by the con ⁇ trol valve 30. However, moving the lockout valve 32 to the second position 62 automatically, controllably interrupts the signal and prevents a demand for fluid by the control valve 30 when the suspension system 27 is inoperative.
- said signal is a fluid signal and the lockout valve 32 is of a con ⁇ struction sufficient for blocking said fluid signal from the priority valve 28.
- Said signal passes to the priority valve 28 through first and second signal lines 70, 72 from the control valve 30.
- the lockout valve 32 has a signal inlet and outlet 74, 76.
- the first signal line 70 is connected to a signal outlet 78 of the control valve 30 and to the signal inlet 74 of the lockout valve 32.
- the second signal line 72 is connected to the signal outlet 76 of -the lockout valve 32 and a spring chamber 80 of the priority valve 28.
- said valve 32 controllably communicates both the signal inlet 74 to the signal outlet 76 and the work fluid inlet 64 to the work fluid outlet 66.
- the lockout valve 32 blocks com- ' munication of said related inlets and outlets for controlling the signal delivered by the control valve 30 simultaneously with the lockout function of the lockout valve 32.
- hydraulic circuit 10 and associated elements can be of other configurations as is known in the art without departing from the invention.
- the priority valve 28 passes fluid from the primary out ⁇ let 40 through the control valve ' 30 and to the lockout valve 32 to controllably operate the suspension system 27.
- the work vehicle 20 with which said hydraulic circuit 10 and the suspension system 27 are associated is, for example, a scraper 20.
- the suspension system 27 is positioned on the tractor portion of said scraper 20 to provide controllability and comfort for an opera- tor of the scraper 20.
- the lockout valve 32 is positioned at the first or open position 60 to provide fluid flow from the priority valve 28 to the hydraulic cylinders 23, 25 for operation of the suspension system 27.
- the operator of the scraper 20 " moves the lockout valve 32 to the second position 62 to prevent operation of the suspension system 27 for better control and stability of the scraper 20 during loading.
- the control valve 32 As the scraper 20 travels, the control valve
- valve 30 is at the first position 54 in response to the ax-le 16 and- frame-18 being at- the-desired, relationship of the first preselected position 26 (shown) .
- first position 54 of the control valve 30 fluid is blocked from passing from the priority valve 28 to the lockout valve 32 and no fluid signal is delivered from the control valve 30 to the priority valve 28.
- the control valve 30 is moved toward the second position 56 in response to the frame 18 being spaced further than desirable from the axle 16 owing to travel of the suspension system 27.
- the second position 56 of the control valve 30 fluid is blocked from passing to the lockout valve 32 and no fluid signal is delivered to the priority valve 28.
- the second line 46 extending between the control valve 30 and lockout valve 32 is, however, opened to a tank 82 of the hydraulic circuit 10.
- the frame 18 tends to return relative to the axle 16 to the first preselected position 26 owing to the force of gravity on said frame 18.
- the result is to force an amount of fluid from the hydraulic cylinders 23-, 25 into the tank 82 which is dependent upon the degree of return travel of the frame 18.
- the control valve 30 moves toward the third position 58 in response to the frame .18 being . spaced closer than desirable to the axle 16.
- Said relation ⁇ ship represents the second preselected position.
- the priority valve 28 is in fluid communication with the lockout valve 32 and a fluid signal is delivered to the lockout valve 32. If the lockout valve 32 is in the first or open posi ⁇ tion 60, fluid passes from the priority valve 28 and into the hydraulic cylinders 23, 25 to expand said cylinders 23, 25. This tends to space the frame 18
- the fluid signal passes through the lockout valve 32 to the priority valve• for assuring priority of fluid flow to the cylinders 23, 25 for operation of the suspension system 27.
- the lockout valve 32 is moved to the second position 62, said suspension system 27 is locked at the condition said system 27 is in at the moment of said valve 32 reaching the second position 62.
- the frame 18 and axle 16 are main- tained at their current relative positions by moving the lockout valve 32 to the second position 62. If said relative positions establish the second pre ⁇ selected position, at which the control valve 30 is moved toward the third position 58, the control valve' 30 creates a "false" demand on the primary outlet 40 of the priority valve 28 by continuing to deliver the fluid signal to the priority valve 28.
- the fluid signal is blocked from being delivered to the priority valve 28 in response to moving the lockout valve 32 to the second position 62.
- the priority valve 28 is thus made responsive to the true demand conditions of the hydraulic circuit 10 and establishes priority of fluid flow from the second- ary outlet 42 to the secondary work system 33. "
- the hydraulic pump 35 is prevented from operating against the relief pressure of the primary or suspension system circuit for sub ⁇ stantially overcoming associated problems such as energy loss and for establishing fluid flow to a secondary work system.
